EMPLOYEE VACCINE PREPARATION PLAN

OBJECTIVE

Provide employers with communication assets to educate employees in overcoming vaccine hesitancy.

ACTION STEPS

The steps below should be taken to prepare your workforce to be vaccinated,either onsite or at a vaccination site with your
local country health department.

1 STEP ONE

Complete the survey to help the department prioritize employer interest for onsite vaccinations here:
• Ingham County Health Department
• Barry-Eaton District Health Department
• Mid-Michigan District Health Department (Clinton County)

2 STEP TWO

Once you complete the appropriate health department survey, let’s breakdown your workforce.

We suggest you create an internal survey/checklist to help you categorize your
onsite and remote workforces.
Workforce Checklist
• If onsite COVID vaccination is offered, would you receive the vaccine?
• What percentage of your workweek is onsite?

• What percentage of your workweek is remote?
• If multiple locations, ask their work location.

3 STEP THREE
We suggest you also communicate with your workforce on the vaccination timeline and the benefits of the
COVID-19 vaccination. If you consider an employee vaccine mandate or incentivize employees who receive the
vaccine, we recommend you consult with your legal counsel.

4 STEP FOUR

Once this is completed, please contact Steve Japinga, vice president of publicaffairs, Lansing Regional
Chamber of Commerce, at relaunch@lansingchamber.org. The objective of this is for you to be ready when
the local health department is ready to vaccinate your workforce.
